(Observe) Record your initial observations of the box your team has been given (sounds, weight, size, etc.). What characteristics do the contents possess? (3 pts)
(Hypothesize and Explain, Experiment, and Conclude/Interpret) Using the back of this page, describe three rejected hypotheses, prediction(s) that follow from each hypothesis, and the experiments used to reject them. For example:

“I hypothesize box #1 contains a medium, white, Hanes, tag-less t-shirt, without a decal because I initially observed the contents of the box are not heavy. I therefore predict the item inside should sound soft and slide around easily. Instead, the item made a thumping sound. I rejected this hypothesis.”

Be sure to follow this format! (9 pts)
Give a hypothesis for the contents of the box that you have been unable to reject (i.e. failed-to-reject). Describe your prediction(s), experiment(s), and the results that led you to your conclusion. Be sure to follow the format above! (3 pts)
